beezerboy Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 That' not unusually in years gone by, especially in the late 1800's -early 1900's, All work, no car , candle or gas light, no tv, not much radio but plenty of pubs . What else is there to do that that will make you grit your teeth and put a smile on your face. You need solid leads to trace someone , you can't just investigate every name that's the same , there has to be a reasonable chance you're heading in the right direction . I realise that this family were located in the general area of the one William Allan's parents lived, but so were many others. What would be nice if one of these people has read this thread and could help. Us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sister Rosetta is a big deal in our research , even though the family knew her very well her early life and family were difficult to track. She had a shop on Grimesthorpe Rd up by Margate street and later lower down at #770. My wife's family lived on Cyclops, Botham & Hunsley Street from the 1890's and I was hoping that maybe someone in the Allen family still took a look at this thread and could help.

The primary person was my great grandad Henry Harrison , he and his wife were married whist in service to Thomas Firth ( you've heard of him) as a groom and household duties .Their first pub was The Grapes , Trippet Lane in 1899then as follows:- Royds Inn Attercliffe Rd about 1909 Beer house 21 Adsetts St (maybe Albion ?) Alexandra, Carlisle St East, 1918-1924. The license was then passed on to one of my grandads until it was again transferred to my grandmother Clara until around 1942. Hallcar Tavern ( also known as Hudson Arms) grandma Clara 1942 Sheffield Arms, Joseph H Harrison, brother of Clara Harrison 1923-1939 I always knew my father lived in a pub but was surprise to find he was born at the River Don Inn (1916) ,Janson and Brightside lane which I passed many times as I word at E.S.C , at all three sides, doing night shift at what was called the New Shop behind the pub. There is a chance in 1944 the Robin Hood (Grimesthorpe Tavern), 46 Ellesmere Rd was also connected to our family but as yet to be confirmed. I had to pass the Hallcar every time I left home, there was no other way, It often took an hour to get to the bus stop at Carwood Rd. Every other Friday night I used to meet with a workmate in the Sheffield Arms for a game of snooker in the late 70's early 80's but I regret to say that I never went in the Alex, for me that is a big mistake.
